MARKET FRIDAY: SHOPPING AT A FABRICS STORE
Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗
Join me as I post my entry for #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle. Thank you for this opportunity to show, talk and share about our market experiences.
Happy weekend everyone and I hope it has been a great week for you so far. Thank God it's Friday, it's that special day of the week that so many people look forward to in order to take a break from work. Well, in reality it is not easy for a business owner to take a break from his or her work. It is people who work as a staff for someone that always look forward to taking the weekend break off work. Nevertheless, rest is good for everyone, both employers and employees.
Well, during the course of the week I went to the market to get fabrics for my brothers and their children that they will be using for my wedding ceremony coming up at the end of this month, as you can see in the pictures that it is a male fabric store. It is not difficult to get fabrics for men as much as it is for women, all you need is to get the type of material they want and color, within few minutes you'd be rest assured that you will be out of the market. I didn't spend up to thirty minutes in the market to buy their materials as opposed to over two hours that I used during my personal shopping.
The types of fabrics that men use for sewing their native dresses are cashmere, Guinea, Ankara, Adire (Tie and dye), Stock material, Senator, Atiku, Lace, Asooke etc. The choice of fabrics often depends on the occasion or personal preference. For instance, it is rare for a man, even women to buy asooke if not that they are having a celebration, especially marriage. It is a go to attire for couples these days. In the same vein, some men do not like to wear dresses made from lace fabrics due to the fact that it will be revealing their body.
Their preference is either a ash color stock material or senator material. Luckily for me, I was able to get the number of "trousers" I wanted in the second shop I went to, the first shop does not have up to the quantity I wanted, so I had to look for it elsewhere.
Most of men's fabrics are sold per trousers, as opposed to per yards in women's fabrics. I have not really taken time to observe if "per trouser" is more than "per yard" or they are the same and it's just a matter of diction. I was able to purchase the fabrics per trouser at the rate of #1500 after being able to negotiate from the initial price of #1800.
I was able to get a reasonable discount because the quantity I bought was quite large, even though it took some time before he agreed to sell for me at that rate
Thank you for your time lovelies.

Sourcing for fabrics for women can be so tiring, women are naturally picky 😂 😂 😂 thank God for the Fabric shopping mall we have here, it makes the work stress free for both male and female, I wouldn't have imagine my life without the mall around here
We are really picky, we have so many things we look for in a fabrics - color, texture, design and pattern etc. Before you know it we have literally spent all day in the market
Exactly, I always devote a whole day if I would be going to the market to shop rather than going to the mall but you know there are still some items I always prefer to get at the market instead, like appliques for dress or head dress, zipper... Because you'll get to see alot of variety and your choice will not be limited
That's true. There are varieties in the market which you may not be able to get in a mall as well as customer friendly rates.
Yeah, you're very correct

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through by their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
